Dave Tutelman “My second career in golf technology...And how computers made it possible” MEETING DATE: Thursday, March 26, 2026 6:45PM - 8:45PM (Zoom meeting room opens at 6:45 PM; Meeting starts at 7 PM) via Zoom virtual meeting.

Description

I retired from Bell Labs after 40 years, most of that time doing R&D in computer networking. By that time, I had established myself as knowing a lot about the physics of golf clubs and the golf swing. I was able to start a second career doing consulting for golf club companies. I have been doing that, both as a hobby and a business, ever since.
It would not have been possible without the computer.

• Computer networking got my name and knowledge out there in the first place.
• Computer networking has allowed me to collaborate with people all over the world.
• I use the computer for the quantitative part of my R&D.
• Some of my output has been computer programs for others to use.
  
• I use a powerful, modern CAD program to do my design work.
• I use the computer and computer networking to document my results.
